Sharon Robbins Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Groce Funeral Home & Cremation Services- Lake Julian on Jan. 29, 2026.
Sharon (Shari) Bresson Robbins entered into heaven unexpectedly, but peacefully on January 6, 2026. She was born in Fairfield County, Connecticut to Harold and Viola (Page) Bresson.

She married her husband David (Dave) Robbins on June 23, 1984 in Newtown, Connecticut. She is survived by her husband of 42 years Dave, sisters Sandra Mcllvain, Anne Shute, Paula Stewart and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Shari enjoyed a 23 year career in the Insurance Industry before stepping away to meet the increasing challenges of Breast Cancer. As a longtime member of the Biltmore Church family, she served her Lord with gladness playing the flute in the orchestra, leading the Women's Ministry, going on international mission trips, teaching Sunday School, participating in the Quilt Ministry, volunteering in the Foster Care Ministry, serving as a Crisis Caregiver in the Stephen Ministry, and led a home Bible Study and prayer group called the God Girls.

While facing the daily challenge to transform her fear into courage, Shari had a fun loving sense of humor, warm and caring nature, and a passion for creativity. Her handmade gifts, quilts and other keepsakes were works of art. Special memories were made in times of intercessory prayer and walking alongside others in their deepest valleys. Her thirst for understanding God's Word fueled her soul. She lived with an enthusiasm for tending to her rose garden and flowers, honoring veterans with Quilts-of-Valor and caring for her backyard birdies. In addition to Dave, the love of her life was her adorable fur-baby named Ashley…affectionately known as her "Healer Kitty", a blessing from God.

Shari will be remembered for her unwavering faith, servant leadership and courage in the midst of her journey. Her devotion to family and friends was inspirational and every day was filled with a spirit of Thanksgiving for her Lord's grace, mercy and goodness.

A service for Shari will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to 828Strong.com. Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian is assisting the family.
